Your smile may look flawless in the mirror, but sometimes the real problem is hidden beneath the surface. If you experience meaningless pressure in the jaw area, pain radiating to the ears or recurring swelling in the gums, you may be dealing with an "impacted tooth" quietly waiting inside. When wisdom teeth cannot find room in a narrow jaw, they unfortunately reduce our quality of life. Sometimes they stay completely inside the bone, and sometimes they stay half out, directly inviting infection.
We hear the question "It doesn't hurt right now, do I have to have it removed?" from many of our patients. Unfortunately, being painless does not mean being harmless. Over time, impacted teeth can press on neighboring healthy teeth and disrupt the entire alignment. In addition, bacteria that accumulate in blind spots the brush cannot reach can decay the healthy tooth next to it. In the long term, they can even pave the way for cyst formation in the jawbone.
Do not let the word "extraction" scare you; those legendary, difficult operations that go from mouth to mouth are now a thing of the past. With our advanced imaging methods we clearly examine the position of the tooth, and we complete the procedure quite comfortably by numbing only that area. You can get through the slight sensitivity afterwards, with the right medication we recommend and an ice compress, without disrupting your daily life.
Take control instead of postponing. At Klinik 99 Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic, we look forward to welcoming you for a detailed examination so that you can smile with confidence.
